The Cassandra Compact – Robert Ludlum & Philip Shelby


Ludlum, Robert and Philip Shelby. 2004. The Cassandra Compact. Jakarta: PT Gramedia Pustaka Utama.


The Cassandra Compact (Covert-One, #2)
Why I read it in the first place?

I simply read this book because it’s the work of Robert Ludlum (and Philip Shelby, his co-author for this book). And I really feel ridiculous because I read it just now when this book had actually been there in the shelf since I was in junior high school, and that’s a long time ago. It belongs to my Papa actually, but let’s considers it mine. It’s mine. My first encounter with Ludlum’s books is when I was in senior high school, I read The Jason Bourne series that are TOTALLY SUPER AWESOME! For a long time, I thought The Cassandra Compact is by Tom Clancy. Because my Papa accidentally put this book in between two books of Clancy, that I haven’t read either. I know Tom Clancy just passed away recently, and there’s this uproar because everybody felt the same feeling, they lost a very great thriller master. Unfortunately I haven’t read any Clancy’s book, perhaps next month.... Anyway, what I’m trying to say is, I read this book just because I finally acknowledged this as the work of Robert Ludlum (and Philip Shelby). I need to hunt other Robert Ludlum’s soon.

Kenapa saya baca buku ini?
Saya baca buku ini karena ini karya Robert Ludlum (dan Philip Shelby, rekan penulisnya untuk buku ini). Dan saya merasa konyol sekali karena baru sekarang saya baca ini buku. Pasalnya, buku ini sudah sejak saya SMP ada di rumah. Sebenarnya sih ini bukunya Papa, hehe. Tapi sekarang anggap saja ini sudah berpindah hak milik. Ini buku saya. Pertama kali saya membaca karya Ludlum adalah waktu saya SMA melalui seri Jason Bourne  yang SUPER KEREN SEKALI! Selama ini saya pikir The Cassandra Compact itu tulisannya Tom Clancy, karena waktu disimpan, kebetulan buku ini diapit oleh dua buku Tom Clancy milik Papa juga, yang belum juga sempat saya baca. Tom Clancy... iya tahu dia baru-baru ini meninggal dan semua orang pada gempar karena kehilangan penulis thriller legendaris. Sayangnya saya belum pernah baca bukunya Clancy, bulan depan mungkin. Balik ke topik! Intinya, saya baca buku The Cassandra Compact karena ini karya Robert Ludlum (dan Philip Shelby). Dan saya harus segera berburu karya Ludlum yang lain...
